Objetivism or relativism?

Ayn Rand was an idiot.

I chose subjectivism.

Objetivism is a joke.

i can't stand pretending to be a marxist anymore, i think i'm going to have to move to arizona and come out of the closet as a libertarian

Ayn Rand was retarded

The natural world is objective. Relativism is a product of the human mind. Apples and pears, so to speak

>>7801654 A hypocrite too.

>>7801657
But the natural world, an objective thing, is interpreted by the minds of men, subjective things.

Everything we are capable of understanding has at one point been affected by a degree subjectiveness hence why relativism is important.

But some things like "a ball of steel is solid" are completely objective.

If one where told his entire life steel was soft, but never being allowed to see or touch it, they would "know" that your statement is false.

All knowledge is based on experience and ideas, but since none of these can effectively give us "the truth" without error, the idea of the truth itself becomes relative.

Shouldnt "levels of experience" of some kind be included in that? As in, my level of experience since i did touch steel is above the one who just heard about it, and as such he shouldnt consider my statement false.

Objectivism leads to the horror known as scientific reductionism.

Subjectivism leads to the heights of disgust known as moral and aesthetic relativism.

Objectivism is probably less pleb though.

I'm hoping English isn't your first language

>>7801760
It isnt.

But you get what i meant?

I don't think the mind is necessarily separate from the world in a non-trivial way so I don't know if I can accept the objective-subjective distinction as valid.

Objectivism and following ONLY one's "self-interests" (without considering how your actions might affect others) leads to corporations' greedily rape-fucking society.
